One of my general beliefs is that political competition is necessary for healthy and responsive governance. Everywhere I've ever lived with single party rule has devolved into myopic and unresponsive governance. The exact details vary depending on which party had total control, but the general issues remain. A party that is competing for voters is one that produces new ideas, and tries to persuade voters that they're the best choice. A party that wins by default focuses on base service and winning primaries, which often doesn't worry as much about governing well. Unfortunately the US will never have the level of political diversity that is the norm in parliamentary democracies because FPTP heavily favors two party rule, and the two parties will never let go of FPTP for fairly obvious reasons. So the issue is, how can we make our system more dynamic given that the best solution, a change to our elector system, is probably out of reach?
